Amsterdam: Maccabi Tel Aviv Fans Cause “Race” Riot! (8.11.2024)

08/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Israeli Media is busy inverting events and misreporting the situation the wrong way around. The Zionist fans are deliberately expressing racist viewpoints and carrying-out acts of blatant aggression against the unsuspecting Dutch football fans. This is the initiating act of violence caused by the Zionist presence. When the Dutch fans attempt to defend themselves – the Zionists falsely report that it is the Dutch fans who have initiated this violence. The Zionists then assume the usual “victim” status against the violence they have caused – and then premise all their future aggression upon this false (self-righteous) moral view of the world. In any other aspect of modern existence, this inverted view of the world would be considered a mental illness distorting the rational flow of everyfay life.

England: The 120-Year-Old Bristol Downs Football League – Every Game a “Home” Match! (7.11.2024)

How many football leagues can count a former England cricket idol, an England football captain, an EFL referee, and a serving councillor among its past and present players?

Dating back almost 120 years, the Bristol Downs League, in many ways, is just like every other amateur Saturday afternoon league played up and down the country.

But it is unique in that all four divisions play on the same set of pitches at 14:00 every Saturday afternoon. Every game is a home game.

The sprawling 442-acre open parkland of the Clifton Downs on top of the city’s Avon Gorge hosts 41 teams, more than 1,500 players, and over 400 matches a season.

BBC Radio Bristol spent the 2023-24 campaign there to find out about the people, players, officials and teams that make the league so special and part of the sporting fabric of the city.

At the closing ceremony, swimmer Jiang Yuyan and track and field athlete Di Dongdong served as flag bearers for the Chinese delegation. The night before, at Paris La Defense Arena, 19-year-old Jiang shattered the world record in the women’s 100-meter backstroke S6 final with a time of 1:19.44, claiming her seventh gold medal at the Paris Paralympics.

“Standing on that podium, watching the flag rise and hearing the (national) anthem play because of my own hard work — it’s a feeling of pride and fulfillment that’s hard to describe,” Jiang said. “I often sing the anthem as loud as I can, I wonder if you can hear me.”

The Chinese delegation reaffirmed its dominance in swimming, athletics, table tennis, fencing and badminton, securing 22 gold medals in swimming and 21 in athletics.

Paralympic pool prodigy Guo Jincheng, who is easily recognizable with his shaved head and no swimming cap, competed in nine events, bringing home four gold and two silver medals.
